This is the third in my series of monthly posts about what's "hot" at HASTAC (according to machines, not people). As I mentioned briefly in last month's round-up, December was a very unusual month for the site. To recap:
On December 12th, Arielle Schlesinger's blog post entitled "Feminism and Programming Languages" got Redditted. It was actually published in November, but went viral after being spread by folks interested in programming and "men's rights" on sites like Reddit, 4chan, Slashdot, Metafilter, Facepunch (classy!), Twitter, Facebook, and possibly the crowning acheievement in my opinion: Know Your Meme (a Cheezburger-affiliated site). We usually get roughly 3,000 visits to hastac.org on a typical weekday, we suddenly had over 36,000 in one day! Here's a visual to show the impact this had on visits to hastac.org (click to enlarge):
